Question by falling4you: Can nuclear power plants create black holes?
I’m doing a project in science and need to know: If someone were to create a nuclear power plant in central california, could it create a black hole? And if it could, what conditions would be needed to create it and how could it accidentally be created?
Any other information about the negative effects of nuclear power plants would be helpful. Also any sources you know of would be great!

No, nuclear power plants cannot create black holes. The Large Hadron Collider can – in fact, that’s one of the reasons they built it. Google for more.
One negative effect of nuclear power plants (assuming they don’t blow up) are the radioactive biproducts, such as spent uranium that needs to be safely stored for thousands of years.
